gov State and Local Cybersecurity Grant Program Updates: The MS Office of Homeland Security has been awarded the federal State and Local Cybersecurity Grant Program federal funds.
The following areas are planned as the funding priorities for these grant funds: Statewide Local Assessments: In an effort to ascertain the gaps, risks and vulnerabilities of the local jurisdictions across Mississippi, the MOHS and MCPC will be implementing a statewide cybersecurity assessment.
For the MOHS to be able to gain useful information and knowledge, while assessing results consistency and effectively, the MOHS will retain funds on the benefit of locals. This will allow for the state to acquire (1) or more vendors through an RFP process and receive a consistent product. What is a cybersecurity assessment?
The assessment is a tool that will gauge where a local jurisdiction is with safety in cybersecurity. Assessments will be provided to local jurisdictions that participate in the program to ascertain the local areas gaps, vulnerabilities and risks when it comes to cybersecurity. At the end of the assessment, the local jurisdiction will be able to receive a report on the results.
Results will be able to be used for other grant funding programs, help with funding locally or federally. How do I participate in this process and get an assessment? The process is simple.
Please fill out the below linked forms and return to: mohsgrants@dps. ms. gov.
Memorandum of Understanding Each participant will receive a customized assessment on your area's cybersecurity gaps, risks and vulnerabilities. This assessment can be used to seek other grant funding opportunities. Once assessments have gone through a review, priorities will be set by the MOHS and MCPC on areas of need a priority.
Funds may be disbursed through sub-grants or could be provided as a state project that will benefit the state as a whole. What will the MOHS do with the assessments? Assessments will be reviewed for the collection of data and used to seek additional funding from state and federal programs.
The MOHS will analyze the results to provide funding either on a local or state level to address issues and priorities found in the assessment results. All results will be held confidential and will not be shared without the permission of the agency. The assessments are to gauge the state risks, vulnerabilities and gaps, while identify areas of need of improvement.
Do I still get an assessment or services without filling out the MOU and Consent forms? No. With this grant program, only participants that provided the required documentation are eligible for these services with the grant funds.
In the event that MOHS is able to acquire more state and/or federal funds, then jurisdictions may be able to receive services at that time. This allotment of funding will only provide assessments and funding to those that participate in the SLCGP program, at this time.
